Overview
Green River Wheated Full Proof Bourbon is a barrel-strength wheated bourbon from Green River Distilling Co. in Owensboro, Kentucky. It builds on Green River’s core wheated bourbon recipe and presents it at higher proof for more texture, structure, and flavor intensity.
The release is important because it gives Green River’s wheated bourbon family an enthusiast-focused expression. Drinkers who enjoy the softer profile of Green River Wheated Bourbon can use Wheated Full Proof to explore the same grain structure with more barrel strength impact.
